I'm glad that you understand how to respect others' personalities. The character of the Chinese people is that if you respect them, they will respect you even more. If you give them an inch of respect, they'll give you a yard. Most Chinese people are friendly.
Different soup bases require different condiments. Here are my suggestions for you: Spicy: Mainly use sesame oil and dried chili peppers, with a small amount of garlic, sesame seeds, or other ingredients you like. Sesame oil can effectively remove excess beef fat from the spicy soup base, making the food not too spicy. Non-spicy soup base: Mainly use sesame paste, with a large amount of it, half a spoon of garlic, a small amount of fermented bean curd (pink sauce), a small amount of Chinese chives flower (dark green sauce), a small amount of white sugar, and some crushed peanuts. Mix well. This is the most suitable way to eat with a white soup base, The white soup base has little flavor, so it needs more flavorful condiments. Sorry, I'm not sure how to translate many of the ingredients accurately. You might need to try them out yourself.😅 Also, make sure not to order "regular spicy", always go for "least spicy, slightly spicy". Wish you a happy time!
As a Chinese, yes, we always eat the hot pot at home, the sauce is the key for the hot pot, you are lucky because you follow the local people did. other vloggers even didn't know how to make the sauce. basically we use garlic, spring onion, coriander, red pepper, sesame juice, pea nut juice, sesame oil, chilli oil, oyster oil and soy sauce. you can put more or less depends on your taste.
Chinese people go by the custom of " 七上八下“ or sever up eight down so normally stuff takes 7 - 8 secs to cook by. Especially if you guys are vegetarians cause vegetables normally require less time to cook.
The ready-to-eat hotpot is called malatang 麻辣烫, and you can find it basically everywhere in China, different regions have different malatang styles. The downside of malatang is that the flavors are usually fixed (or maybe it's a good thing for beginners?)
most of what you were eating, well vegs, cooks in seconds since you still want some texture to the vegs. but yeah, main thing is the sauce if you got a more neutral soup base. takes a few tries but once you get the right sauce combo you like, it's more enjoyable experience. the type that is cooked for you, you will see all the food on the outside near the entrance. just get a tray and pile everything you want and hand it to them. usually it's either quickly braised in a soupy stew, or just dipped hot pot style and handled back fully cooked. just make sure you tell them you are vegetarian so they use the right base.
one thing to notice, China has 4 Municipality city(Beijing,Tianjin,Shanghai,Chongqing), Chongqing is the largest of which by area, not even by population. so when we say Chongqing is the largest city, what it really means is it's the largest Municipality by area among the four Municipality city.
When you eat hot pot again, you can ask the vendor for a plate. Place the food on the plate to let it cool, and then dip it in the sauce before eating.It’s more convenient. Hope you two enjoy your trip every day!❤
@@VeggiesOnTour yes i agree with your message sichuan food is famous dish in china or world . welcome your to china again . your chinese tirp video is fantastic series 👍🏻
there actually are different variants of "cook things in a pot", hotpot（火锅 you cook your own）, malatang（麻辣烫 you pick stuff and they cook for you）, maocai (冒菜basically hotpot, but comes in a bowl for one person, they cook for you. famous in Chengdu），boboji（钵钵鸡 basically malatang with sticks so you eat on the go. they are usually not hot. famous in LeShan). There are more types but these are the popular ones. It can get quite confusing
If you don't want to cook urself, u may choose Cold Pot (冷锅) restaurant, instead of Hot Pot ones. Here Cold Pot means all food materials are selected and cooked by chef in the back kitchen to their ideally best and served in a pot without the fire underneath. Cold Pot is more popular in Chengdu area than in Chongqing. Bo Bo JI（钵钵鸡） / Mao Cai（冒菜） r two other precooked alternatives more popular in Chengdu, which have somewhat different styles and flavors which u may choose, as i think they r more friendly to vegetarian.
I was told that in Chengdu there is a mall in where you enjoy your time on beach (man-made). There are also many most beautiful metro stations in the world. I will visit this city next year or so.
I can tell you were reporting from a new country. I noticed the first vehicle that you walk past was a Fiat ? Interesting somewhere in Spain Southern Italy maybe?
Just finished watching the whole video😝 Warm beer tastes like piss. You should ask the waiter for some ice. Then, we do put a lot of ingredients in to cook together, but that's not hot pot anymore, it's another thing, "mixed stew". Finally, wherever you are, I wish you happiness.
Thank you for sharing this, which is really awesome! After you visit Chengdu, I would suggest you go to Zhangjiajie (Hunan Province)[Avatar], Kunming (Yunnan Province), and Shenzhen (Guangdong Province). Do you have any plan to visit Xi'an [Terracotta Warriors]? In Chengdu and Shenzhen, there are more modern malls larger than the one you saw in Chongqing. Enjoy,,,
The whole point of hotpot is one cook it by oneself ,also make your own dipping sauce ,that’s the whole experience .If you get it cooked by others and served on the table just like any other dish,where is the fun in that?😂
下一个城市，我们去云南，那里有蘑菇火锅，那里是素食者的天堂。天气没那么热。关键是要找到一家靠谱的蘑菇店。有些蘑菇会让你看到小人在跳舞。据说有人吃过未煮熟的蘑菇。看到冰箱跟电视对话 🤣(Next city, we go to Yunnan, which has mushroom hot pot and is a paradise for vegetarians. The weather is not that hot. The key is to find a reliable mushroom shop. Some mushrooms will let you see little people dancing. It is said that some people have eaten uncooked mushrooms. Seeing the refrigerator talking to the TV)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I made at least 2 some time 3 different dipping sauce for my hot pot , hot , peanutty and simple light soy with sesame oil , there's no need to overcook the food in hot pot , all foods are slice thinly and ready to cook within few / 10 seconds , the Tofu taste fishy is most likely " Fish Tofu " .
You guys are so funny when you have potato noodles or sweet potatoes noodles! That noodles climb on your face! Made me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂! Welcome to China! Enjoy
If you want something like in this case a cold beer, can't you type the phrase "I would like a cold beer. This one is warm" and translate it into Chinese then show it to the waiter?
Many challenging foods are not eaten by Chinese people. Seeing foreigners liking spicy food, the acceptance rate is so high. Maybe you can go to Lanzhou and try various types of noodles there, as well as Shanxi, which may be more in line with your taste.
For your reference, I saw a foreigner who said they come from Italy and said that northern Chinese flavors are more suitable. The following is from his original words: When I was traveling in Shanxi, China. The local cuisine really amazed me, and many foreign food bloggers rarely pay attention to this area. However, I think the pasta here is too delicious. The locals, like Italians, are good at innovating in pasta and love to pair it directly with vinegar (vinegar is also popular in Italian cuisine). Like the lamb and roasted wheat I ordered at a regular restaurant in Taiyuan, the freshly baked wheat aroma complements the deliciousness of the lamb. When you take a bite, the meat filling will overflow with a bit of rich lamb soup. The most crucial thing is that I remember the price was only around 2.5 euros, which is a delicacy that cannot be found in Europe.
you guys can also try vegetarian barbecue in street food. You pick all the vegetables you like, then hand over to the chef, he/she will cook for you. Eggplant is highly recommended. Another one is Chinese chives. There are lots of other vegetables such as mushrooms, potato, tofu, corn, etc....
Chinese is a Very tonal expressive language, so if you want locals to understand you. You have to say the words with a bit more Mmmphh, Gusto, and Aggression. If the Chinese ever come up with their own sign language, all the gestures and movements would be very big, loud, and dramatic.
hi～ Chengdu people is here. dipping is one of the soul of hot pot. next time,when u try hot pot u can choose to ask the waiter to make a local dipping sauce for u（please do it. I can't stand the number of foreigners who come to eat hot pot without someone helping them make the right dip）. and most vegetarian dishes can be eaten raw and are very clean, so they usually only need to cook for 30-60 seconds (depending on whether you like the crunch or not). Potatoes, mushrooms and soy products take 2-3 minutes) . If u want to know more about Chengdu or need help, please contact me. enjoy in chengdu ! 😀
You guys Treat local people with courtesy and respect, and be willing to try to appreciate different cultures and customs.
Good luck with everything.❤
Lovely comment, you're too kind! 🙏🙏🙏

9:55 Yes they do that "you pick and they cook for you" service. It's called Malatang(麻辣烫). Try it on your next trip. Looking forward.

When I first went to Chengdu, I got diarrhae for 2 weeks because of the spicy food. And then my stomach got used to it
Hahaa love the honesty

As for the drinks, just ask the waiter to bring you a cold drink or a cup and ice. Don't hesitate to ask. Chinese people would love to help you.

9 yuan for the base broth. Each item you pick costs extra.
这是最迷你的火锅，他们几乎从不选择荤菜。在中国，蔬菜和水果非常便宜。一个普通的火锅和大量的荤菜每人大约需要80-120元人民币（9-13磅）
